Bota Duisenbay

PhD student on low latency neuromorphic event based vision

KTH

PhD researcher at KTH working on neuromorphic event cameras and low-latency sensor fusion for real-time human-robot collaboration. My work combines deep learning and spiking neural networks for depth estimation and object tracking, using a 7-DOF robotic arm and event cameras as the primary experimental platform.

Alen Issayev

Researcher

Astana IT University

My current research focus is centered on Applied Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Multimodal AI, with a strong interest in document understanding, OCR, vision-language models, and LLM-based systems. I am currently exploring synthetic data generation for low-resource Turkic languages, especially for OCR and document recognition tasks. This includes building realistic multilingual document datasets, designing generation pipelines, and preparing data for fine-tuning modern OCR/VLM models. Another important direction of my work is the development of practical AI systems based on RAG, LLM agents, and multimodal reasoning. I am interested in turning research ideas into usable AI tools for real-world domains such as document processing, legal technology, education, and urban surveillance.
